Repair for the 2010-2011 E350 W212 OM642!
Darrellll replied to MrGreedy's topic in General Discussions
Did the emission of black smoke from the back of the vehicle occur subsequent to an extended duration of traveling at modest speeds inside an urban environment? Has this occurrence been documented in other instances? -
The process of eliminating suction imprints from glass surfaces

I also use the 00 gauge wire wool for the purpose of cleaning windows. I have never had any difficulties. -
Oh my goodness! I acquired a previously owned MY17 vehicle and saw the presence of a custom paint application on the right front fender and a portion of the bumper, which suggests that it was not an original factory finish. The endeavor to seamlessly integrate the paint was executed with little success. It is hypothesized that the former owner may have been involved in an unreported vehicular incident and afterwards opted for cost-effective repairs prior to trading in the vehicle. A minor repair was conducted at the point of contact between the fender and the bumper. The mileage on my vehicle is below 12,000 kilometers. I should assess the actions that Land Rover will do on my behalf.

S204 C63. Normal to have mismatched door sill plates?
Darrellll replied to ML350_Colin's topic in General Discussions
Last year, when returning from the spa, it was determined that the vehicle had a clear history according to the HPI report. -
Have you reached a definitive conclusion about this matter? The aforementioned problem remains unresolved despite the replacement of the intercooler pipe, which had incurred a split. I will be doing an experiment including the installation of a novel throttle body and subsequent relearning process on the following day.

I had a similar problem with my Stromberg 175CDTU carburetor, whereby a gasoline leak originated from the vicinity of the automated choke mechanism. The carburetor was disassembled, and the gaskets and diaphragms were replaced, with the exception of the one on the automated choke, due to a stripped screw. What is the procedure for doing a vacuum test or inspection on a carburetor while it is detached from the engine? Additionally, is there a method to verify the functionality of the automated choke? I conducted three rounds of verification on the floats, which were adjusted to a measurement of 16/17mm. Additionally, I replaced the float needle with a new one. Do you have any suggestions or ideas to contribute? I have observed that the startek handbook seems to lack a certain PDF file, namely 072-136. If somebody had this, it would be advantageous. The included image depicts the location of the leak.

I appreciate your advice and will have my husband check the pipes, but I will definitely schedule another appointment for my vehicle, this time with a Mercedes service center. The situation has worsened since some kind soul drove into my parked vehicle, but I have faith that things will eventually improve. Again, I appreciate your assistance.

One technician suggested that I try replacing the maf sensor, and when it didn't work, I went to a second mechanic who told me the same thing. Then you must have been instructed to use turbo. So, we've had the arms examined, and everything seems OK there; the next step, courtesy to the guy on this site, is to check the pipes, but then we'll have to pay for yet another diagnostic to retrieve the codes and (we assume) reset the vehicle. Thanks

Many thanks
-
Thank you so much for your help; I plan to have them inspected today. I'll need to get the relevant codes; are the hoses or whatever else needs fixing easily accessible? Thanks

After replacing the maf air sensor, the engine control unit, and still having the engine management light on and the vehicle in limp mode, I have been advised that the problem lies with the turbo.

When using detailing products, have you waited for them to dry? possible chemical etching based on appearance.

I would think, just dust it, I wouldn't use any chemicals or cleaners on that.👍

Yes, I like the weather band. Last night was really entertaining in these parts. I suppose I'll put the leds on the "list" for later. Another query is whether or not this ROVER LANDROVER 99-05 Auxiliary 3.5mm Car Adapter will work with the factory radio. It doesn't have a factory CD changer, and I'm not sure what the rear looks like. I'm not sure whether LR utilised a single head unit and simply added the CD changer.

Is there a method to repair or replace the bulb or led that serves as the display for the stock radio?

That is exactly my present position. (I'm the cack-handed mechanic, and the new belt is made of Chinesium, whilst the original is made of...er...Japanesium.) Timing belts, unlike tyres, do not carry date tags, and in an old automobile with little demand for components, they might have been sitting on the shelf for a long period. Finally, Daihatsu emphasizes in the handbook the need of notfolding belts at severe angles, which is how the replacement belt was kept. All of this makes me skeptical that I'll be better off post replacement (if I achieve it), but it also makes me much more certain that rubber band autodestructing engines are a bad idea.

This question has come up a few times lately, and I know it is often asked here. A search would likely provide the answer, but it seems like a good subject for the FAQ. How can you distinguish between the following automobiles and bodies: the pre-lit Narrow Low-line (ii) iii) Limited iv) Broad Do I have any missing standard bodies? Please provide information on any places that are clearly different, measuring points, etc.

The quote for striking the obstruction is £9000.
Darrellll replied to clk320x4's topic in General Discussions
I'm including a few images here. The body was undamaged, and the tyre was in its proper location. As can be seen in the image, the rod tyre had been deformed. He suggested I go to BMW since they would have the component in stock, but once I got there, they examined it and gave me a quotation for £9000.
